Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/18/2015 --Many California car buyers get scammed by used car dealers. The most common fraud issues are false advertising, hidden accidents, and financing scams. In California, it is against the law for a dealer to sell a car for any amount higher than the advertised price. It is also illegal for a dealer to hide previous accidents or serious damage from the buyer. A dealer must also comply with strict financing laws that protect California car buyers. When car dealers break the law, the auto fraud attorneys at Consumer Action Law group sue car dealers for fraud.
Most car buyers have doubts when buying a car from a used car salesmen. Although many dealers run honest dealerships which strive to comply with consumer laws, there are still a huge number of cases involving car dealer frauds that happen every day.
Some used car salesmen who desperately need the commission will do anything to make the sale. Every day, buyers call with stories of dealers that have lied to close a deal.
Car Dealership Fraud Includes:
- Buying a car that is sold at a price above the price in the advertisement
- Hiding accidents and frame damage and prior rental use
- Gouging creditworthy buyers for high interest rates and deferring down payments
- Recalibrating odometers to lower the mileage and adding on features for fees
Buying a used car can sometimes cost more than purchasing a brand new car. Taking a car for repairs and parts replacement may even put a buyer at further risk for being scammed by dishonest car repairmen who also prey on buyers to make money. When buyers discover that they overpaid for their car or paid an unreasonably high finance rate, they may still be able to get their money back by filing a lawsuit for dealership fraud. The same is true when a buyer discovers that their car was in a prior accident. A lawsuit can be filed months or sometimes years later. When a buyer realizes that their car was defective when they bought it, or in a prior accident, it is best to call immediately and talk to an auto fraud attorney right away.
Any car buyer that believes their car dealer lied should immediately consult with an experienced car attorney to discuss options and the process of filing a lawsuit. A good auto fraud attorney can negotiate with the car dealer on behalf of the buyer to either reach a settlement or litigate to get the buyer's money back, cancel a bad contract, and recover damages to punish the dealer, if appropriate. Filing a lawsuit against a dishonest car dealer can be a long and complex legal process. Any buyer with a case against a car dealer probably needs an auto dealer fraud attorney with a great track record of fighting against dealers to help car buyers get their money back.
